Ask HN: Books in 2025

3•huncyrus•2h ago
This year was quite fast, a roller coaster for many who work in tech. Many of my colleagues and friends did not have much time to read everything that was planned, including me. I remember seeing this kind of question in HN during the years, but not this year.

What books have you read in 2025?
